"Doctor Chen, you’re back?" When Chen Yu returned to the laboratory, Doctor Higashiyama was already there, recording the data of the experint samples with Nakagawa Susumu.
Chen Yu nodded to Doctor Higashiyama and Nakagawa Susumu without saying much and sat down at the experint table. Although the incident with Yamamoto Hisae had made him quite angry, it didn’t affect his mood to the extent that he couldn’t shake it off. It was like soone who gets barked at by a stray dog on the street and feels angry, but doesn’t keep dwelling on it.
After rechecking the experint samples and ensuring that none of the lab mice exhibited unexpected reactions, Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction. Only then did he thank Doctor Higashiyama and Nakagawa Susumu, "The experint is progressing smoothly; thank you both for your help. If you have other matters to attend to, please go ahead. We don’t need so many people to keep watch here all the ti."
Hearing Chen Yu’s words, Nakagawa Susumu was the first to shake his head, indicating it was no big deal and saying, "I’m just a trainee doctor, I’m usually assisting other doctors, so it’s no issue. Helping here allows to learn sothing from you, Doctor Chen."
Nakagawa Susumu’s words prompted Chen Yu to nod indisputably. Since he was willing to stay and help, Chen Yu naturally wouldn’t send him away. Moreover, taking part in the experints would indeed allow Nakagawa Susumu to learn so things. "Since you put it that way, Nakagawa, then learn diligently. Feel free to ask anything you don’t understand."
"Thank you, Doctor Chen!" Nakagawa Susumu hastily expressed his gratitude. In a place like Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, it was very difficult for trainee doctors who were not University of Tokyo graduates to learn anything. Most often, trainee doctors like Nakagawa Susumu are used by professors or other doctors as laborers or handyn.
The fact that Chen Yu was willing to teach him rather than expecting him to learn by himself was a welco and unexpected delight.
Doctor Higashiyama, on the other hand, seed hesitant. As a full-fledged doctor, he obviously couldn’t spend as much ti in the lab as Nakagawa Susumu. Not to ntion his own patients, just the routine ward rounds were mandatory for him.
Seeing the hesitation on Doctor Higashiyama’s face, Chen Yu smiled at him, "Doctor Higashiyama, if you have your own matters to attend to, please go ahead. Nakagawa is here to help, which is sufficient. As for Miss Hanayama’s surgery, I will lend a hand."
"That would be great! Miss Hanayama had so fluctuations in her condition this morning. Having you, Doctor Chen Yu, assist with the surgery as soon as possible would undoubtedly be the best outco for her!" Finally hearing Chen Yu agree to help was a great relief for Nakagawa Susumu, who had been constantly worried about Hanayama Mikie’s condition.
After all, his concern was not rely that of a doctor for his patient; it was connected to his happiness for the rest of his life.
Seeing Doctor Higashiyama’s excited deanor, Chen Yu could naturally detect his intentions and started teasing him with a mischievous smile.
Feeling a bit embarrassed by Chen Yu’s teasing smile, Doctor Higashiyama was uneasy. Having developed feelings for a patient wasn’t sothing to be proud of. Still, motivated by his feelings for Hanayama Mikie, Doctor Higashiyama tried to justify himself, "My feelings for Miss Hanayama are genuine. It’s not that I’m taking advantage of her because she is my patient!"
Doctor Higashiyama’s attempt at a justification made both Chen Yu and Nakagawa Susumu burst into laughter.
However, after the laughter, Chen Yu rembered the earlier incident involving Director Yamamoto switching Inomata Naoki’s room. He realized that he needed his own eyes and ears in the hospital. So, after pondering for a mont, he said to Doctor Higashiyama, "Doctor Higashiyama, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Please tell , as long as it’s within my power, I’ll certainly do it!" Doctor Higashiyama, eager to be of service to Chen Yu, hurriedly agreed.
"My patient Inomata Naoki, you’re familiar with him, right? I had previously arranged him in a standard ward, but this morning when I went to see him, he had been moved to a VIP room by Director Yamamoto.
I’m concerned about this, but I can’t leave the lab, so I was hoping you could check on him during your ward rounds and inform if anything arises," Chen Yu explained the situation to Doctor Higashiyama, making his request.
"Ah! Director Yamamoto of the Departnt of Internal dicine! This…" While the na Yamamoto Hisae could be ignored by Chen Yu, for doctors who had worked under her tyrannical influence, her na still held great deterrent power, making Doctor Higashiyama imdiately waver.
Chen Yu understood Doctor Higashiyama’s concerns and quickly added, "You don’t need to do anything special, just check his condition daily and report to . That’s also part of the experint, since he is one of the cases, isn’t he? Moreover, you just need to keep an eye on him for these two experintal days, not for a prolonged period."
Hearing this, Doctor Higashiyama hesitated for a mont before agreeing, "Alright, I’ll inform you if there’s any issue."
"Thank you very much!" Having received Doctor Higashiyama’s consent, Chen Yu smiled and redirected his focus back to the experint.

"Mr. Chen Yu, I heard today that you had a conflict with Director Yamamoto. Is everything alright?" Jounouchi Hiromi, having received the news, hurriedly rushed to the laboratory and inquired concerningly about Chen Yu.
"Hiromi, you know about that too?" Chen Yu looked at Jounouchi Hiromi in surprise, raised an eyebrow, and then reassured her with a smile, "Don’t be nervous, it was just a disagreent because she switched Naoki’s room without notifying , nothing significant."
"But, but… it sounds like you have offended Director Yamamoto, right? You shouldn’t have been so impulsive, Mr.
Chen Yu!" Compared to Chen Yu, as a doctor who had spent many years within the dical bureau system, Jounouchi Hiromi could better understand the power and influence held by a Departnt Head of Internal dicine at Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, which made her very anxious about Chen Yu: "Maybe you should go apologize to Director Yamamoto!"
"I already told you it’s nothing to worry about, so you don’t have to trouble yourself with this!" Chen Yu of course realized Jounouchi Hiromi’s concern for him, but he was obviously not going to do sothing like apologizing to Yamamoto Hisae. "Don’t forget who my ntor is, Hiromi—Professor Kube! He’s the head of the surgical departnt, while Director Yamamoto is head of internal dicine.
With being a student of the surgical departnt head, do you think an apology to the internal dicine departnt head would sit well with the professor?"
"Ah! Professor Kube!" Rembering this, Jounouchi Hiromi instantaneously recognized her oversight.
Seeing Jounouchi Hiromi realizing her mistake, Chen Yu then told her with a smile, "So you see, Hiromi, you don’t have to worry. Offending Director Yamamoto is not as serious as you think, and besides, I didn’t actually offend her."
